Faced with the Titan Giant Ape in a berserk state, Shen An remained perfectly calm.
Tom was trembling in fear as he clung tightly to Shen An's thigh, while Jerry clutched onto Tom's.
Shen An… couldn't help but wonder—why did this cat have absolutely no faith in his strength?
"Is that all?" Shen An mocked provocatively.
ROAR!!!
The Titan Giant Ape's powerful arm lunged forward with brute force, aiming to grab Shen An and crush every bone and shred of flesh into dust, making him die in unbearable agony.
This was his punishment for a mere ant that dared to injure him.
Tom looked up at the mountain-sized Titan Giant Ape, whose killing intent seemed to blot out the sky, and gulped hard. He felt like he was about to be bullied into oblivion.
"Tom, go! Take him down!" Seeing the Titan Giant Ape's attack closing in, Shen An hurriedly gave the order.
Tom didn't even have time to question Shen An's decision. He just looked up with a classic "Huh? Me?" face.
If he didn't act now, his feline life would end right here.
Gritting his teeth, Tom decisively tied on his kung fu headband.
In an instant, Tom's entire demeanor changed. His green pupils morphed into two black feline shadows that began demonstrating various styles of Chinese martial arts at incredible speed—Tai Chi, Bagua, Bajiquan, Wing Chun… and more.
"You don't have to be a victim. You don't have to be a victim."
That sentence echoed through Tom's mind thousands of times.
"A-da!"
With a sudden movement, Tom flashed in front of Shen An, standing calmly with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of absolute confidence.
Two words flashed through Shen An's mind: A True Grandmaster.
Majestic and Serene.
The Titan Giant Ape, now blind, could no longer see Tom, but he could sense a strange presence in front of Shen An—an existence that made him feel something incredibly mystical.
It felt as if he were facing the sky itself, as vast as the sea, as immovable as mountains—like the eternal sun, moon, and stars.
But the berserk Titan Giant Ape had long since lost his rationality—there was no way he'd stop now!
He punched out, creating a deafening boom as the air exploded, sending visible shockwaves rippling through the surroundings.
Tom calmly stared at the incoming punch. Was that it? He was now a martial arts grandmaster.
"Ya-ha! A-da!"
In an instant, Tom's tiny fists struck the Titan Giant Ape's arm from various angles. The previously powerful limb suddenly lost all strength and went limp.
Chinese Martial Arts—Pressure Point Strikes!
The Titan Giant Ape, blind and in a frenzy, roared even louder. His right arm was now numb with pain, completely unusable.
"ROAR!"
"Er Ming, I'm coming!" At that moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python arrived on the battlefield.
The Titan Giant Ape's gravity domain allowed him to control gravity—either to lighten or to increase it—so in his eagerness for revenge, he had arrived ahead.
"You damn cat, you'll die in agony just like your master!" the Sky Azure Bull Python growled, his voice cold as frost, while a blue light began to gather in his mouth.
Tom looked at him with disdain. Sneak attacks? So dishonorable. Someone needs to teach you manners, youngster.
"Big bro, why aren't you firing?" the Titan Giant Ape asked in a panic, clutching his wounded arm.
"I… I can't move… It's staring into my soul," the Sky Azure Bull Python said in horror, as the blue light he had gathered somehow dissipated into nothing.
Tom's half-closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and in the next instant, he appeared beside the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"A-da!"
He gently pinched a scale on the Sky Azure Bull Python with two fingers, twisted his arm, and—
Chinese Martial Arts—Clothes-Grabbing Eighteen Throws!
The dozens-of-meters-long Sky Azure Bull Python was flung through the air with no resistance, turning into a tiny black dot before vanishing completely.
The Titan Giant Ape, who had just been hellbent on grinding Shen An into dust, instantly calmed down.
He was reckless—but not stupid.
Even his stronger big brother couldn't last a single move against this strange being. What chance did a blind ape like him stand?
Ten thousand years of cultivation wasn't earned through talent alone—it required knowing when to back down. Otherwise, he'd have died a thousand times already.
The Titan Giant Ape didn't hesitate. He maxed out his gravity domain—pressuring Shen An's group while reducing his own body's weight.
A body once the size of a mountain suddenly shrank into a tiny black dot and shot into the distance!
"Master Tom, don't let him escape! Go for a mid-air intercept!" Shen An shouted immediately.
What a joke! I already used my kung fu headband—if I don't finish this guy, I'll lose out big time!
Tom narrowed his eyes, bent his knees, and launched into the air.
In the next moment, he was standing on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder—only visible to Shen An thanks to his Azure Sword Eyesight.
"To leap several kilometers in a single bound… Is this truly the realm of Chinese martial arts?" Shen An murmured in awe.
Jerry's jaw literally dropped at the sight. His eyeballs nearly popped out.
This cat's actually cool? No way! Why though?!
Jerry thought sourly, his face full of envy and disbelief.
Sensing something on his shoulder, the Titan Giant Ape growled and swung a heavy fist at it.
"ARGH!"
He screamed in pain. Not only did he fail to hit Tom, he even worsened his already-numb arm.
Which only made him even more furious.
Tom darted all over the Titan Giant Ape's body, taunting him into frenzied self-harm with elegant ease.
A cat is still a cat—even as a grandmaster, it loves messing with people.
Eventually, Tom grew bored of the game. He flashed into the sky and focused his inner energy.
With a fierce stomp, he created visible ripples in the air beneath his feet—as if the void itself had turned solid—borrowing an unimaginable force from nothingness.
Others generate power from the ground.
Tom? He generated power from the air.
Kung Fu Tom—terrifying beyond reason!
Tom's small frame smashed into the Titan Giant Ape's body with his shoulder.
Chinese Martial Arts—Bajiquan, Mountain-Crashing Shoulder!
The most ferocious, explosive move in Bajiquan.
With a single strike, the blind Titan Giant Ape felt as though heaven and earth were against him. The overwhelming force made his soul tremble.
Before he could react, an indescribable force exploded from his chest.
Even the Titan Giant Ape—renowned for his strength—felt utterly insignificant.
In a split second, he was sent flying across the horizon.
He didn't even know how far he was flung. His chest collapsed inward, and blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth.
And that was just the surface damage. A mysterious energy was tearing through his insides, trying to erase his life force entirely.
Am I… dying? But… who even struck me down?
The Titan Giant Ape, blind and confused, thought in despair.
Tom's entire presence had changed after donning the kung fu headband. No wonder the blind Titan Giant Ape couldn't recognize him.
If only… if only I'd listened to Sister Xiao Wu and never provoked that guy…
Regret flooded his heart.
Then, a familiar aura wafted over, clearing his muddled thoughts.
"The Spring of Life… It's nearby. Yes! Big Bro once said there's someone near the Spring of Life even he wouldn't dare provoke!"
Hope ignited in the Titan Giant Ape's chest. With his body broken and bleeding, he staggered toward the Spring of Life.
"Meow~"
A drawn-out, lazy meow rang out, as if to say—
Where do you think you're going? I'm not done playing yet.
